MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Valid user credentials required for authentication to D-Link NAS web interface. Vulnerable models: DNS-120, DNR-202L, DNS-315L, DNS-320, DNS-320L, DNS-320LW, DNS-321, DNR-322L, DNS-323, DNS-325, DNS-326, DNS-327L, DNR-326, DNS-340L, DNS-343, DNS-345, DNS-726-4, DNS-1100-4, DNS-1200-05, DNS-1550-04 with firmware before 20260205. |
| Impact | This represents a high real-world risk based on multiple factors: CVSS 8.8 (High) with network attack vector requiring only low privileges and no user interaction. The CVSS vector shows E:P (Proof-of-concept exists) confirming exploitability. While not currently in CISA KEV, the public POC availability significantly increases risk. The vulnerability is automatable (AV:N/AC:L) and has high technical impact (C:H/I:H/A:H). Authentication requirement (PR:L) provides minimal protection as many NAS devices use weak/default credentials. This is a priority patch given the combination of public exploit, network accessibility, and critical data typically stored on NAS devices. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with valid credentials (potentially default or weak passwords common on NAS devices) can remotely send specially crafted requests to the /cgi-bin/gui_mgr.cgi endpoint, triggering the buffer overflow in the favorite user management functions. This allows arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the CGI process, potentially leading to full device compromise, data theft, or use as a pivot point into the network. The public POC (https://github.com/wudipjq/my_vuln/blob/main/D-Link8/vuln_163/163.md) provides working exploit code, making attacks trivial for even low-skilled adversaries. |

Alert meAnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in D-Link DNS storage appliances (DNS-120, DNS-340L, DNS-1200-05 and others) through the /cgi-bin/gui_mgr.cgi endpoint allows remote authenticated attackers to achieve code execution. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, and no patch is currently available. Affected firmware versions are dated up to February 5, 2026.
RemediationAI
No official patches are currently available from D-Link. Immediate mitigations include: 1) Disable remote access to the device management interface, 2) Place devices behind a firewall blocking external access to the CGI interface, 3) Monitor for suspicious authentication attempts and CGI requests to /cgi-bin/gui_mgr.cgi, 4) Consider replacing end-of-life models with supported alternatives. Check D-Link support site for future firmware updates addressing this CVE.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability (CWE-121: Stack-based Buffer Overflow) affects the CGI binary gui_mgr.cgi in D-Link NAS devices, specifically in functions that handle user favorite management. The affected products span 20 different D-Link NAS models including DNS-120, DNS-320 series, DNS-340L, DNR series, and enterprise models like DNS-1550-04. All versions up to firmware date 20260205 are vulnerable. Stack buffer overflows occur when input data exceeds allocated buffer space on the stack, potentially overwriting return addresses and enabling code execution.

2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was detected in D-Link DNS-120, DNR-202L, DNS-315L, DNS-320, DNS-320L, DNS-320LW, DNS-321, DNR-322L, DNS-323, DNS-325, DNS-326, DNS-327L, DNR-326, DNS-340L, DNS-343, DNS-345, DNS-726-4, DNS-1100-4, DNS-1200-05 and DNS-1550-04 up to 20260205. This vulnerability affects the function cgi_myfavorite_del_user/cgi_myfavorite_verify of the file /cgi-bin/gui_mgr.cgi. Performing a manipulation results in stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used.
Executive ViewAI
D-Link NAS devices are vulnerable to a high-severity buffer overflow attack that allows authenticated users to take complete control of affected systems. Organizations using these devices face immediate risk of data theft, system compromise, and operational disruption, especially since working exploit code is publicly available and no patch currently exists.
Disable CGI management interface if not actively required; implement network segmentation to restrict access to NAS devices from untrusted networks; deploy WAF or reverse proxy rules to block requests to vulnerable CGI endpoints (cgi_myfavorite_del_user, cgi_myfavorite_verify); enforce strong authentication and monitor administrative access logs; disable remote management access and require VPN for any required administration; implement intrusion detection signatures for exploitation attempts.

Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.
